Oliver Norwood's summer got off to the perfect start on Monday afternoon thanks to Rory McIlroy.

The former world No.1 golfer, who claimed victory at the Irish Open at the weekend, visited Northern Ireland's training camp to wish Michael O'Neill's squad good luck ahead of Euro 2016.

And having posed for photos and even given everyone some close up examples of his talent with a driver, McIlroy made a beeline for Norwood.

And he presented Reading's midfielder with a framed picture to recognise the fact that he had started all ten games of Northern Ireland's history making qualifying campaign for this year's European Championships in France.

Norwood will be in action on Friday when Belarus visit Belfast for a friendly. O'Neill will then name his 23-man squad for the Euros on Saturday.
